Gravely PM34Z owners read!

I recently put a few posts on here about changing hydro sensitivity because its easy to tear the yard with the setup. Well What I did was bought some better tires and it is so much better. I bought the Carlisle Multitrac c/s tires. I bought them 1" wider than the original. They dont make a 21" so went with a 20". So the size is a 20-8.00-10. I cant tell a diiference in height between the tires side by side. GO figure! Anyways the ride is better, Handles better, doesnt tear anything unless going just too fast and also looks meaner with these wider tires!
This is only my opinion/advise so you guys dont pick this paragraph apart, if you dont want to try then dont. anyways I am very happy with this mower now, feels like a whole new ride.

Tall fescue and centipede mostly, if not cutting weeds I havent noticed any accelerated wear of the front tires although this is my first season with the mower. I wouldnt dare do zero turns with the old tires but I feel I could with the new ones given its was a plush yard. Im so used to 3 points I havent really tried yet. Ive only used the new tires for 1 day so ill get back at ya!

Beware: This change will make the tires the SAME width as your deck. So, when you trim along metal edging, or a chainlink fence, there is a good chance you will slice your sidewalls. The change may help traction, but it destroys the trim clearance you had originally.

This mower doesnt have any deck trim sticking out anyways! I dont think 1/2" is makes a difference. Its only a half inch (of tire) addition on each side so it can still go through my smallest gates, it just might rub the tire a little which wont hurt unless for somereason the gate has sharp edges. some of my gates i had to rub the tire a little anyways with the old tires. Trust me this is a very small price to pay for the better ride and turf saving you get. Thats all, take it or leave it.
